Merry Christmas everyone!

Paul

Any idea of the target release date in N?  Preorders being accepted?

Have already done a Happy Christmas post but thought I'd do another for our friends from Downunder.

Hope all's going well and the sprouts aren't burning on the bar b.

Couldn't sleep so thought I'd use you guys as an excuse to have a sneaky Guinness or two before the missus wakes up.

Have a great day....

Cheers weave  + 

...and happy Christmas from me to you all, but especially the techies and mods who keep this forum running so smoothly.

I wish you all the best for 2017. Me? I'd just like to spend more than the 4 days working on my layout that I managed in 2016.  5 maybe??

Many happies,

Chris

Love the points and evident expandabliity. One lucky little boy with a lot of rail fun years to look forward to.

I assume it's DCC - Digitally Child Controlled.

I would think some parents would prefer the other DCC - Digitally Controlled Child!

'Tis "Plarail", a system very popular here (sort of plastic Brio on steroids), while the models aren't exactly finescale they recognisably represent various prototypes, some railway companies even commission verisions of their trains.

You can actually put a battery in it and movement is controlled by a lever switch on the roof, but the Squidlet is suspicious of toys which move autonomously, so we'll leave that for later.

That is frightening!  "Wot is?", I hear you ask - the T-shirt of course. Why, what else did you think I meant!

Should have carried a health warning.

"Later" as in today, as it turns out. He was a bit taken aback at first but when I showed him how the lever works, he was most delighted, though he still doesn't have the coordination to work it himself but he knows which bit to point at when he wants it to move or stop.
